What is "censorship"?
Censorship is the practice of removing or restricting certain content from movies, books, or other media based on guidelines or policies. This is done to prevent exposure to material that may be considered inappropriate, offensive, or harmful according to social, political, or cultural standards. Censorship can involve altering, editing, or completely removing sections of content to ensure it meets specific criteria or to protect certain values. The goal is often to control the impact of the material on the audience or to comply with legal and ethical norms.
